Welcome to Our Online Store! We have been making passenger car side kits since 1995. We have a great list of sides available and are concentrating our efforts on kits for cars that were more unique to particular trains and railroads than are generally available in anything except brass. We are very open to producing sides that are not on the list, at no extra charge, so let us hear from you if you don't see it here!!
INCLUDED IN OUR KITS ARE TWO WHITE STYRENE SIDES WITH WINDOW CUTOUTS, GRABIRON HOLE PLACEMENT, VESTIBULE AND OTHER DETAILS CUT INTO THE SIDES. THE TWO CLEAR WINDOW SIDES NOW HAVE THE WINDOW AREAS CUT OUT SO THAT THEY CAN BE GLUED IN AFTER THE CAR IS PUT TOGETHER, AND HAVE THE SKIRT AREA INCLUDED WITH GROOVES CUT IN TO AID IN CURVING THE SKIRTS UNDER THE CAR. THE CLEAR SIDES ARE .030 THICK AND THE WHITE SIDES ARE .020 THICKNESS. KITS ARE COMPUTER CRAFTED AND VERY ACCURATE. ON PREWAR CARS FROM PULLMAN THAT HAD FLUTING, IT WAS FLUSH WITH THE CAR SIDE, SO WE CUT THE FLUTING INTO THE SIDES OF OUR PREWAR FLUTED SIDE KITS, AND OUR POSTWAR FLUTING IS PROTOTYPICAL AS AN ADD-ON PART INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. HO KITS ARE DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE TRAIN STATION PRODUCTS CORE KITS, AVAILABLE IN BUDD OR PULLMAN-STANDARD, OR ACF. THE KITS CAN ALSO BE USED TO REPLACE THE SIDES OF WALTHERS HO SCALE CARS BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEND US AN EMAIL WITH THE HO SCALE INCH LENGTH MEASUREMENT, AS WALTHERS CARS ARE INCOSISTENT IN LENGTH. CLICK THE PASSENGER CAR SIDES CATEGORY FOR THE CURRENT LIST OR CLICK YOUR FAVORITE RAILROAD ABOVE. THERE WILL BE MANY MORE IN THE FUTURE. WRITE TO US WITH YOUR REQUESTS. ALL KITS ARE UNDECORATED AND SIDE KITS ARE ONLY THE SIDES, NOT COMPLETE CAR KITS.
